But You Chose To Put On Dem Blinders

11.27.2021

 

Do you remember

When sane was in?

 

But you chose to put on Dem blinders

Then some half-wit lib shouted

“Let the games begin!”

 

Now insanity reigns

If you call that a win

I know which side of sane you’re in

It ain’t pretty

Such a pity

To be so willingly led

Like a horse to water

Or so you think

More a lamb to slaughter

With only blood left to drink

 

So you’ve made your bed

Now you have to get in

Just ignore all the garbage

All the shit that you’re in

Smell’s not so bad

As long as you sleep

With the reality of your future downwind

 

Keep towing the line

Empty head

Empty smile

‘Cause everything’s fine

Or so they’ve said all the while

Over the mainstream slaughterhouse PA line

 

But you’d better wake up

Before it’s too late

Don’t wait to wake up

To the sound of the gate

Closing behind you

Trapping you

Sealing your fate

 

In between the PA’s

Repeating, “All’s fine.”

Your last sound

The hammer-gun pop

At the end of the slaughterhouse line

 

A memory flashes

Before the hammer hits home

Of a time you remember

When sane was in

Thus your final thought

Before hammer to bone

To return to that time

To return to your home

 

Your last wish

Before pop to permanent sleep

Another chance to decide

Between lion or sheep

 

Then the pop

Knocked Dem blinders to the floor

Onto the ground once known as America

But no more
